Swap “newsletter” and “newsletter integration” for “kunden” and “e mail”
“newsletter” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “kunden” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “newsletter integration” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “e mail” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

OpportunityOnly 3 ratings. A handful of reviews makes your star average fragile and weakens trust at install time.

Healthy but under-discovered
OpportunityThis plugin scores 78/100 on health yet sits at 400 installs. The product is good; distribution is the gap.
What to do: A WP Mayor review and placement can put it in front of the right audience.
